A thrilling operation took place in Kampung Kepayang, where a 15kg python was successfully captured from a drain near a house.
In the midst of the scorching heat, reptiles, including snakes, seek out cooler and moister places for refuge. It’s not uncommon to find them venturing into human environments such as houses.
The bravery and expertise of the BOMBA Ipoh deserve recognition as they skillfully handled this challenging situation. Led by an experienced trainer, they safely captured the python without causing any harm or risk to the local residents.
Incidents like this serve as a reminder that while nature is a fascinating wonder, we must remain cautious and aware of our surroundings. During this hot season, reptiles like snakes may seek shelter inside homes, drains, or other hidden areas.
Therefore, let’s make an effort to check our surroundings, especially places that could serve as hiding spots for reptiles. Ensure that your home and its surroundings are well-maintained by keeping the area clean, sealing any holes or gaps in walls or floors, and contacting the relevant authorities if dangerous reptiles are spotted nearby.
Congratulations to the BOMBA Ipoh for their successful capture of the python!
